Five days into another year and I find myself overwhelmed by all the things I’d love to experience. I would like to change the narrative of the title of this post and go more for things I would like to pursue and experience in 2023, and these are:

1. To write a book.
2. To publish the book I write in April.
3. To have a conversation with any Kenyan Writer, and explore their experience writing, some of the things they picked up along the way and things they’d love to share with fellow writers.
4. Post more often on this blog- at least 5 posts per month.
5. Read more books this year. I read 75 books of 34 for the 2022 Goodreads Challenge and this year, I thought why not read half the number of days in the year-and I settled for 183.
6. Take note of the phrases, details or prose that stand out for me in the books that I read and find out how best to improve on my writing. (I got stickers for this purpose alone)
7. Write daily.
8. To pitch a story or article idea to at least 3 publications.
